Question

The table shows the osmotic potential of a range of sucrose solutions.

Concentration of sucrose/mol dm3
0.30
0.35
0.40
0.45
0.50
0.60

Osmotic potential/kPa
-860
-970
-1120
-1280
-1450
-1800

(a) Analyse the data in the graph and in the table to explain how the osmotic potential of tgese onion cells could be determined.
